Ensemble Festival 2026
Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 July
Ensemble Festival 26
Live Streams Connect – 8:30 pm
On the evening of Saturday 25th July at the Good Hotel, following the festival hours.
A live music performance inspired by rivers, human connection and environmental justice, bringing together talented migrants with award-winning musicians.
Led by composer Isa Suarez on keyboards and voice, the project features the Living Streams Ensemble: Arowah on bass and voice, Beibei Wang on percussion, Mercedes Maresca on flute, and Rihab Azar on oud.
This concert is the culmination of a four-month collaboration with migrants and the ensemble.
Drawing on recordings of waterways, the performance turns the sounds and musicality of water into live music composed both by Suarez and during co-creation sessions with the ensemble and migrants.
